What’s better than unique handmade goodies for your nearest and dearest this holiday season? Okay, maybe a trip to Bali would be nice — but I think this is the next best thing: a gift from an NYC craft fair. [via Brooklyn Based]

Dec. 14 and 21, 11am-6pmGifted: A Holiday Market. You’ve only got two more Sundays to shop to your heart’s content with the folks who brought you the Brooklyn Flea (Time Out New York has a part in this, too). Just across the street from the usual Brooklyn Flea, a warmer venue awaits in the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, 317 Clermont Avenue.[Image, right: Elephant toys by Acorn]
